Details

Notes: JUDGMENT CALL: SLAM! is a dual-function device (mic preamp/DI + dual-stage limiter, no EQ), so it does not cleanly fit the Channel Strip definition (which requires EQ per guidance). Classified as Compressor/Limiter per task's dynamics-category grouping; it is also cross-listed on manley.com under the Mic Preamps category (same product/URL). Country of manufacture not explicitly stated on this product page (left blank though Manley is a California manufacturer generally) - flagged rather than assumed. Gain: 60dB max mic preamp, 43dB max DI, 20dB max limiter gain.
